_BLUE MOON_ BY C.D. LEDBETTER
Romantic Mystery/Suspense, Ebook And Paperback
Mary Corbett's calm, orderly existence is shattered the moment she
sets foot on an old, run-down Louisiana plantation. Even though she's
never been there before, she recalls details about the house that only
someone who actually lived in it would know. If that weren't bad
enough, she finds that her attraction to the other curator, Jack
Windom, hasn't lessened since they last worked together. In fact, as
they spend time together on the estate, she realizes she's falling in
love with him. Unfortunately for her, he's already spoken for.
When she and Jack attend a Blue Moon Voodoo ceremony, she has a
"clear-sighted vision" about the former owners, both of whom
mysteriously disappeared over a hundred years ago. Even though she's
never been psychic, she continues to "see" bits and pieces of their
lives. Shortly thereafter, the ghostly apparition of the former
mistress, Magdalene Laroussard, appears to her and begs for help. When
Magdalene continues to ask for help, Mary realizes what she has tried
all along to deny--that she is somehow tied to this house and to Jack.
She makes up her mind to not only buy the run-down plantation and turn
it into a bed and breakfast, but to also solve the mystery of what
happened to Jean-Pierre and Magdalene Laroussard.
Her determination to find the key to their disappearance is fraught
with danger. When she learns that members of a local Voodoo cult have
vowed to protect her from harm, she can't help but wonder who's going
to protect her from them.

_BREAKING THE CHAIN_ BY C.D. LEDBETTER
Mystery/Suspense, Ebook And Paperback
Some paths are destined to cross again...
You would think that after helping a ghost find peace by solving a
hundred-year-old mystery and thwarting a murderess' plans, Mary
Corbett's life as an estate curator would settle back into a normal
routine. Well, one can always wish...
At the moment, things couldn't be better. Not only is she married to
her beloved Jack, but her dream of owning a bed and breakfast has come
true, thanks to the help of her very rich, but snotty Aunt Elizavon.
Now that the Blue Moon Inn is open, there's just one thing left for
Mary to do--invite Sadie and Justine, the two elderly women who served
as the plantation's former housekeepers, back for a visit.
What Mary doesn't know is that Sadie, the elderly Voodoo priestess
who predicted the series of events that brought Mary and Jack
together, is also searching for her. But Sadie's reasons are much more
pressing--she's started having visions again, and this time they're
worse than before.
After Sadie arrives, Mary starts having ESP flashes of her own. Why
is she seeing ghosts again, and how is her life tied to the "brown
man" that Sadie's so afraid of? What kind of trouble is he destined to
bring, and worse yet, how does Sadie know he's going to visit the inn?

Romantic Suspense, Ebook
The sound was unlike anything she'd ever heard. Was the slot machine
broken or...
While recuperating from a devastating automobile accident, Emily
Sane discovers she has the ability to walk into any casino and tell
which slot machine is going to pay off. Her heightened sense of
hearing--a direct result of her accident--actually allows her to
detect the subtle change in pitch of the reels as they line up for the
winning combination.
After testing her theory in local casinos and nearly going to jail
for suspected cheating, Emily moves to Las Vegas to cash in on her
talent before it disappears. On paper, her plan sounds like a winner.
Move to Vegas, get a day job to cover the fact that she's hitting
jackpots in every single casino, win the million dollar jackpot, then
split. In actuality, however, what she she gets is a dead neighbor on
her doorstep, an attraction to a man she's not sure she can trust,
blackmail, involvement in a Secret Service investigation, and a
contract put out on her life.
Emily's determination to use her talent to win the biggest slot
jackpot takes her down a path with only two possible outcomes: more
money than she ever dreamed possible, or death by the hand of a
professional hit man.

_THE HUNTRESS_ BY MICHELLE O\'LEARY
Romantic Sci-Fi, Ebook And Paperback
THE HUNTER:
Traumatized at a young age by the violent death of her parents, Mea
Brin becomes a Hunter, part of an elite policing force of the
Planetary Coalition. She is the best of the best, ruthless and
predatory on a hunt and driven by the memory of violence. But then she
meets Seth Terrik, an escaped convict, and Regan Freya, a child
recently orphaned. The pair make an impression on Mea that she can't
ignore--she feels a deep empathy for the girl and in Terrik she sees
reflections of herself. Her choices seem limited--duty demands that
she capture the escapee and turn the child over to the proper
authorities. But Mea is not one to allow duty to define her. She
creates a new choice.
THE CONVICT:
Seth Terrik has spent more than half of his life in prison. All that
he knows or cares about is survival and the fight for freedom until a
trusting girl becomes his responsibility and a seductive Hunter offers
him what looks like a second chance at life. The simple rules of his
existence become much more complicated as he is forced to redefine the
concepts of survival and freedom. What does a hardened criminal like
him know of trust or love? Is he even capable of stepping beyond
instinct and into human emotion?

Anya Vaedrin is a woman of extraordinary talents. A singer by trade,
she has earned the nickname Angel with her voice, her white hair, and

of the two talents. Able to both read emotions and cause others to
feel anything she wishes, from joy to fear and pleasure to pain, Anya

destroy. Pursued to the ends of human occupied space by a telepathic
assassin, Anya has one last hope of safety before she must brave alien
territory. Far Reach Station is known for its liberal policies towards
alien species, but would they give sanctuary to one of their own when

she is confronted by Jason Salvatore, the surly second in command of
the station. And Captain Marta Jamison makes the station a dubious
refuge when it becomes clear that she has an agenda all her own.

_EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BEING A WOMAN CAN BE LEARNED IN
THE GARDEN _BY PATRICIA FISH
Inspirational Humor
Meet the Hillery Beach Garden Club, a group of middle-aged, suburban
women
When they hear that Dr. Ruth Wizenheimer, appearing on the Sally
Jesse O'Donnell show, advises women that onion rings, tossed in
horseshoe fashion, can make for fun sex play, the ladies are
disgruntled. From there, the women realize that they are fed up with
feminine self-help books and female advice gurus--Rosie Winfrey, Dr.
Joyce Sisters, Martha Showoff--the lot of them. They decide that only
those with some experience should be dispensing such advice. With
their combined wisdom of 1,070 years, they are sure that they know it
all and begin to compose the ultimate self-help book.
The Garden Club begins each thoughtful chapter with a story/vignette
from their own ecogardens that--according to them--illustrates the
chapter subject. Then they present the highlights of their chapter
discussions for the reader to digest and to become--so the women
assume--a more enlightened female. The women wrap up each chapter with
a brief summary of their conclusions which does not--to the surprise
of the reader--quite align with the chapter subject.
As readers delve into the stories of dogs, cats, flowers, squirrels,
birds, and humans, they will also become immersed in the interesting
little dramas and personalities of the Hillery Beach Garden Club
itself. The reader will be most amused as the women attempt to bring
their book to fruition against all odds.
While the stories of the ecogarden prove heartwarming and most
enlightening, it is the funny and insightful discussions of the women
which provide an even greater wisdom.
If your soul needs Chicken Soup, _Everything You Need to Know About
Being a Woman Can Be Learned in the Garden_ is most certainly the
stock!

_PEACHES AND CREAM _BY DONNA SODERLUN HOFFMAN
Mainstream Fiction
"Life isn't all peaches and cream, you know. Sometimes it's just the
pits," a wise woman is believed to have said. This woman is Gigi. She
is the paternal grandmother of Debra, who tells her story in Peaches
and Cream. This is not the usual, childhood memories story, however.
It is not a story of "rags to riches," nor one of a talented and
driven young person who succeeds beyond her wildest dreams. It is the
story of an average girl, one you may have known in your past, and
certainly a girl you would like to know. It is does not relay events
of astounding and unusual magnitude nor present a lifestyle one might
aspire to but never hope to attain. It is simply a humorous and
sometimes touching story of an interesting but very real-to-life
family. It is a story about people you would like to know and call
your friends.

_THROWING STICKS AND SKIPPING STONES_ BY GLORIA MACKAY
Essays
Gloria MacKay has thrown many sticks in her life, and skipped lots
of stones--or at least tried. It is hard not to, loving as she does
the mist enfolded, water wrapped Pacific Northwest
As a writer and broadcaster of commentaries and articles, she
broadens her base and throws as far as she can at whatever pops in her
head: she skips from magic to politics; from recipes to baseball; from
men, women, and children to time marching on.
Throwing Sticks and Skipping Stones is a collection of her most
entertaining, thought-provoking work. Unlike the stones she tries to
skip at water's edge, these essays are as on the mark as a dart in a
bull's eye.
As you read Throwing Sticks and Skipping Stones feel free to laugh;
this is how a girl throws, and Gloria MacKay wouldn't have it any
other way.

_I NEVER HELD YOU_ BY ELLEN M. DUBOIS
Self-Help/Miscarriage
Who are we? We are professionals in the workforce or professional
mothers. We are painters and singers. We are caretakers and we are
movie stars. Some of us may have children; while some of us don't. The
one thing that connects us all is that we are women who experienced a
miscarriage that seemed, in many cases, to go unacknowledged by many.
We have all felt the dismissal of our very real grief and we have all
felt alone and isolated because of it. We cry our tears together. You
are not alone in your struggle to get through this
Ms. DuBois poignantly tells of her own miscarriage, outlines steps
toward recovery, and provides online support resources.
